Finally got something new up on the International Page. But its worth calling your attention to it here on the home page. "Gonna Have A Really Soulful Christmas" is an import collection that arrives at Amazon on October 14. It's a two-disc set with over 2 hours of vintage Soul and R&B. It's got a decent SRP for that (just over $20) and a track list that covers the waterfront from the tired and true (yes, I meant to type "tired") to some very hard to find sides (a little less hard to find, perhaps, in this digital age, but certainly difficult to find in hard copy form). Not sure--somebody will probably tell me--but I think a few of these tracks are making their CD debut (Sandy Baron's"Swingin' Santa"? Bueller? Bueller? Anybody? Anybody?). And a lot of it comes to you courtesy of the different copyright laws in Europe and the UK. The label, itself, Hoo Doo Records, is based in Barcelona, Spain. And releasing music that is Public Domain under European law is what they do. By most accounts, they do it pretty well. Now, I'm not going to put this in the same category as the "Santa's Funk & Soul Party" albums from the German Tramp label (who DO pay royalties, btw), but its not a bad little collection to pick up if you dig vintage Soul. And who doesn't, right? I spent a lot of time typing up the track list, so please, out of respect for my carpal tunneled wrists and fingers, check it out on our International Page.
